Twilight Lexicon shares a message directly from David Slade, where he helps clear the air over some of his previous Twilight statements:

Dear Laura and Lori,

I would be grateful if you could distribute this statement to the fans of Twilight:I would like to address some statements that I made regarding Twilight.

When I made these comments, I had neither seen the film nor read the books. I was promoting a comedy short film that I had made for Xbox and every pop culture subject was seen as a possible comedy target. I was being silly and none of the statements were from the heart.

Of course, I have since seen the movie and read the books and was quickly consumed with the rich storytelling and the beautifully honest characters that Stephenie Meyer created.

I would like to reassure everyone involved that I am invested in making the best film that I am humanly capable of, and that I am acutely aware of the power of the original books we serve.

Send his ass packing! "Oh please forgive me. I said what I was feeling. But, in hindsight I shouldn't have. I don't wanna lose my meal ticket!" Jerk! Like they couldn't find someone who is a GREAT director, and a FAN, as well!

I don't know why. but I like this guy.. he's interesting.. I think cast will enjoy working with him. Everyone makes mistakes.. and I believe that he will do his best to make Eclipse the best movie he is humanly capable of... becouse othervise.. he knows he's doomed :D

I think he is jumping on a money maker ...hope he can still do the work justice ....talk about eating your own words ...and the work I have seen of his ..not that impressive ..he could stay or go for all I care

I like Slade quite a bit and I am amped to see his Eclipse as well as Weitz's interpretation of New Moon. Slade reminds me of my hubby, who is now the most massive unicorn-I have text messages to prove it. Love, love, LOVE his music video work! Check it out on YouTube!

He made a bad joke ages ago about something he knew nothing about, happens to all of us. You can make jokes about Twilight you know(and the was it's been presented in the media, no wonder people make jokes about it).
